Thank you Ellroy for posting pictures of what the area from 1969 and 2014.
About the alley behind the Krispy Kreme store, is it an industrial area or residential area?
Were the any buildings on the alley behind Krispy Kreme that could have been a place of business back in 1969?

Thank you for the photos, Ellroy. I think you're right, and the building in the background of the 1969 photo is the KK. That would put the crime scene fairly close to the alley rather than Grandview, which makes sense. I've always had this notion that Kathy was abducted as she passed KK, and forced through the alley to the back of the building. Since it seems the original KK was set back off of the street, perhaps she walked up close to look inside for her friends. In the shadow of the building, the abductor could have grabbed her without being seen by passersby. JMO
December: Thank you for all your hard work in this case. It is very much appreciated!
Thompson Lane, aerial view, from the Banner, Dec. 3, 1969. Have some questions about the accuracy of the labels in the pic, but I could get to that later.
